Frames divide a browser window into two or more document windows, each displaying a
different document, or a different part of the same document.

!
Caution Frames in an HTML document can cause a web page to appear to be divided into
multiple, scrollable regions.
For each frame, you can assign a name, a source document locator, dimensions, border alignment
and decorations, scroll and resize behaviors, loading and unloading behavior, file and topic
maps, and style sheets.
 Names: You can place an anchor in any frame, link to any addressable object, and place the
object into any named frame.
 Source document locator: You can use whatever addressing schemes your user agent
supports, including URLs and filenames.
 Dimensions: You can rigidly or flexibly layout a two-dimensional grid of rectangular
blocks.

 Border alignment and decoration: You can adjust the position of the left and right margins,
the top and bottom margins, and the alignment of the frame. You can also make the
borders of a frame invisible.

 Scrolling: Frames can have scrollbars, no scrollbars, or you can let the browser turn them
on if the document is larger than the current horizontal or vertical size of the frame.

 Resizable: Frames are normally resizable in the browser, but that can be disabled so the
frame may not be resized at the user agent.
 Loading and unloading: You can provide a script to be run when the user agent finishes
loading all frames or when the user exit the document.
 File and topic maps: You can place a file or topic navigator into a frame. The navigator
might be a collapsible listing of file system, a listing of document headings, thumbnails of
images in a document, or an index of any element type.
These properties make possible:

 Static frames: Elements that a user should always see, such as button bars, logos, copyright
notices, and title graphics, can be placed in individual frames that are locked into place on
the user agent window.

 Live frames: Documents, icons, interactive forms, videos, multimedia, topic maps, and
anything else that can react to user input or programmed activity.

 As a user navigates a site in “live” frames, the contents of static frames remain fixed, even
though adjoining frames redraw.
 Functional tables of contents: A frame can contain interactive tables of contents (TOCs)
with links that, when clicked, display results in an adjoining frame. These TOCs can be
static or interactive with collapsible lists, graphical maps of document structure, or displays
of file and link architectures.
